Gay marriage's win streak tested in higher court

A three-judge panel will review a ruling that struck down Utah's gay marriage ban in December. It's the first time a gay marriage case has reached the appellate level since the Supreme Court changed the legal landscape last year by striking down the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

Eight federal judges have invalidated gay marriage bans since that Supreme Court ruling. Gay rights groups say the law is finally catching up to reality. Opponents say the judges are bowing to political pressure.
